[QUOTE="USCGLongBow, post: 971289, member: 81191"] Being a long time Reloder user, I wouldn't try Reloder 25 in a Short Action, it just seems unneccesary. Reloder 22 and 25 shine in longer casings and heavy bullets. You are on the heavy end for 6mm so you might see good performance with RL 25, but I would be more likely to try Reloder 19 first with either a 308 or 284 based cartridge. IF you are dead set on trying Reloder 25, you should be safe backing off your RL22 charge by a couple grains to get a starting load. Typically with Reloder powder the slower the powder the more you can put in the case, but since you are using such a slow powder for your cartridge, I wouldn't jump straight to 51.5 grs for a starting load. Just my .02, I tried to find a short action RL25 load to compare to and was unable to. I'm really curious where people get this temp sensitive Reloder powders from, I've been using them for years in temperatures from -60F to 120F and I have never had a measurable difference in any of my rifles out to 600yds.
